Novice tools.
Richard LeMoon:
I am not sure why you would think that. I have literally hours, perhaps even days of ingame aggravation time due to people not knowing arcs. I honestly don't care how they learn them, as long as I don't have to constantly teach the same thing over and over.
Seeing a ship from the outside and where it can shoot, then translating that to actually being on the ship is not as easy as that. Even the on-map arcs would not.
The goal of novice tools should be this: Teach the basics of the game as quickly as possible in an easy, unobtrusive manner, without making it overly obvious that they are being taught. The Quadrant would do just that. It would be seen as an awesome tool that is better than the spyglass for keeping track of enemies. This does five things.
1. Gets the spyglass out of the pilot's hands from the start.
2. Teaches pilots to use a map more often, even without the tool.
3. Teaches gun arcs.
4. Teaches positional awareness.
5. Teaches crew awareness (via the white aiming line).
Those five things are worth Jeeves weight in gold.

I think something like that would be good, I get irritated when a new pilot can't keep the main gun on the goldfish pointed at the enemy

Depending on the situation it can get risky to do that. Otherwise, ffs, POINT THE FRONT OF THE SHIP AT THE GUY SHOOTING AT YOU.
Carn:
I get that, but when they don't point any of the guns at the enemy? And it feels like half of the engagement your on the wrong end of a chase? I dunno, I've been stuck with a lot of noob pilots lately.
Xylo Wenchbane:
Sounds cool, But that definitely should be only applicable to novice status players. Once you 'pass' novice the assist turns off and you should know most of the gun arcs and range by that point. There's still plenty of effects to learn from ammo types and the ships speed/movement after the novices graduate and I guess they come with time too.
